Charles Xavier quotes from Wolverine and the X-Men

Xavier

Don't be alarmed, Logan. We're still at the institute. But this is what you might call... a meeting of the minds on the Astral Plane. It's through here I'm able to communicate to you from the future.

Logan

It's... really good to see you, Chuck.

Xavier

And you, my friend. I only wish I were bringing better news.

[After a perilous obstacle course] I don't know why you even brought me here.

Charles Xavier

You're too hard on yourself, Scott. This will all take time.

You're wrong about me. I'm no hero. I'm not cut out to be an X-Man.

Charles Xavier

Tell you what, that's enough training for today. Go dry off and we'll take a little drive.

Where are we going?

Charles Xavier

To meet a special friend of mine.

Emma Frost

[To Cyclops at lakeshore bench] Shall we continue?

Cyclops

Yeah. [Emma puts hand on Cyclops forehead initiating flashback of Charles and Scott at Jean's family house]

Him?

Charles Xavier

No, her.

[Comes down stairs] Charles.

Charles Xavier

Good morning, John. Hello, Jean. I'd like you both to meet a student of mine, Scott Summers. Jean, how are you feeling?

You saw what's going on outside. She's a mess.

Charles Xavier

Can you tell me why?

It's because of your old friend Erik. He came to visit her.

Charles Xavier

What did he say?

I don't know. She got scared and ran inside. She won't talk about it.

Charles Xavier

You must understand this changes everything.

What does he want?

Charles Xavier

He wants her on his side. Erik goes by Magneto now and he's assembling an army of powerful mutants.

Does that mean he'll come back for her?

Charles Xavier

Most assuredly. And next time he won't ask first.

He'll just take her.

Charles Xavier

Jean won't let him.

She may not be able to stop him.

Charles Xavier

John... I need more time with her.

Jean

My weekly visits aren't enough.

Charles Xavier

I'd like Jean to come and stay at the institute.

No, she's too young.

Charles Xavier

But you can't protect her like I can.

Jean

Dad, I'd like to go with them.

Just bring me the girl, Charles. We both know her place is with me.

Charles Xavier

She's chosen a different path than the one you offer, Erik. It's an uninformed choice.

How can she ever reach her true potential if you insist on suppressing her powers?

Charles Xavier

Because I see her as a person, not as a weapon.

You know how I abhor these confrontations, Charles.

Charles Xavier

But you leave me no choice.
